Set in a Mexican beach town, the characters are based on real people whose names have been changed:
Dr. January (Jan) Cook, the eccentric psychologist;
Carlos Gardel Cabrera, her young Argentinian but sociopathic lover;
Pudique, the French woman Carlos loves;
Tim, Dr. Jan's friend (would-be lover);
Isabella, the RipTide Hotel concierge;
Robin Cook, Jan's daughter;
Rory Cook, Jan's son.
Writing began in the Spring of 2015: the Universe guided the author's hand. Rewrites were based on courses and blogs and professional coverage (the most recent series was from Chris Goldberg, one of the producers of Gone Girl).
I am grateful to all who read it for me, and gave me encouragement. Screenwriting is the most complex writing form: a doctoral dissertation is a cakewalk in comparison. However, the exquisite agony of writing a movie script seems to pale against the job of pitching it.
